This unique Cancer Coach Certification – SHERPA Program is built around our Holistic and Integrated protocol. It comprises 80 hours of classroom training plus 20 hours of online training. Classroom training is conducted in a 10-day experiential workshop. Content includes interactive sessions, individual and group activities, opportunities to practice your skills … and lots of fun!

Dire need for non-medical care

If cancer has touched you directly or indirectly, you know that trauma and suffering are constant companions on the daunting journey. Great confusion prevails, with too much (well-meaning) advice and too little insight. And since the doctors don’t have the time, there is a real need for empathy and guidance at key moments. Unfortunately, for most people, there is no one to provide non-medical care. Our Cancer Coach Certification – SHERPA Program is designed to bridge this gap.

You can use the insights from your own experience, receive formal training and help reduce the suffering of others. In other words, you can ‘Give Back To Cancer’!

Who is a Sherpa?

Sherpas are the legendary mountain guides from Nepal. Their hardiness, expertise and experience with dangerous terrain at very high altitudes makes them exemplary guides, navigators and mentors, for elite mountain-climbers. Their unique climbing ability comes from a genetic adaptation to high altitudes.

Sherpas don’t seek personal glory; their FULFILLMENT comes from enabling other climbers to reach the summit!

In the same way, patients and families need an experienced and well-trained Cancer SHERPA to hand-hold them through the journey.

Previous Program: Archives

We held our inaugural Cancer Coach Certification – SHERPA Program from 3-12th November 2017, at Kautilya Leadership Centre. 13 SHERPAs from India, Singapore & USA came together and took a giant leap towards offering a pioneering cancer-care coaching service.

“Invigorating. I had a paradigm shift from being a ‘necessary soothsayer’ to becoming a ‘beacon’ in a patient’s life. That’s HUGE!”

“The shift from ‘Self’ to ‘Service’. Shadow Values, Presence Practice, Family Constellation and the Feedback framework were powerful tools.”

“It was the first time that I was in a space where cancer felt ‘normal’, with people who had similar journeys to mine. I came back home with lots of learning, feeling inspired, liberated and empowered.”
